Perfect shorts!

Love these lightweight hiking shorts. The fabric is soft and comfortable and the pattern isn’t something I would normally wear, but I love them! The material is soft and just the right amount of stretch and the weight is almost like you’re not wearing them!

Don't waste your money- they're plastic!

Plastic! I purchased and returned these. Smartwool- you'd think they'd be more wool than synthetic material. They were not. The inner waistband is the only part of these that are wool, the rest is synthetic! Don't bother. Find another option.

Easy Wear, Thigh Friendly

These are amazing!!! Light material, doesn’t easily dirty, and very good for generous thighs — fits well through waist and seat and yet no riding up or needing to adjust from thighs. Pockets are great, I love having the double snap close and additional drawstrings. Buying another pair to absolutely live in. Great for warmer weather, hiking, everyday.

On second pair

I bought two pairs of these because I loved my first one so much and it got a little roughed up from my fanny pack. I like the pocket openings and I can hang a small water bottle from my fanny pack and it goes right in the pocket. It’s loose cut enough that I don’t get any PULL when I am doing yoga, although it’s open enough that I wouldn’t be in a class doing it in those shorts. I find them dressy enough to look like a well dressed tourist

Gorgeous + light and fit great.

I got the flower one, SO pretty!!! light and comfy! I initialy a Small and returned for the XS, is great, I´m 123/125 sporty body and I can tell is going to strech a little. From my experience do get a bigger size. It is extremly light, awesome for Hawaii. Or ocean/hike life style.

Love

Based on the material i decided to size up to an XL. I’m normally a L. I love the drawstring feature. It held the shorts in place while giving me extra leg room for hiking steeper hills. I didn’t experience the shorts riding up and really loved how light they are. I purchased the blue pair and i want to purchase the black pair next.

Comfortable everyday shorts

I love the silky feel of these shorts! They are so comfortable. I’ve been wearing them to the gym for weight training and I have full range of movement and never feel exposed. I haven’t tried them hiking but I have worn them walking the dogs and can tell the waistband feels comfortable and the legs don’t ride up.

Good light weight shorts

The 4"" hike shorts are very lightweight, cool and dry quickly. I live in SW Florida and it is in the 90's with high humidity most of the year. I do wish they fit more like last years version with a lower rise. That version was much more comfortable than the newer style.
